Queen’s Birthday Honours for the UCL community

19 June 2014

A number of people from the UCL community have been
recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Professor David Fish (UCL Partners) has been knighted for services to the NHS. Professor
David Fish became Managing Director of UCLPartners when it was established in
June 2009, following a distinguished career in clinical leadership in the NHS
and as a consultant in clinical neurophysiology and neurology. As Managing
Director of UCLPartners, David has led the development of the academic health
science partnership, instilling a culture of collaboration and support across
universities, the NHS and industry for the benefit of a population of six
million people.

Speaking about the honour, Professor Fish said: “I am
delighted and feel hugely privileged to be recognised in the Queen’s Birthday
Honours. It is testament to the unremitting effort and inspiration of all
the staff in UCLPartners, the commitment across the partnership and the support
of local communities that is helping to transform the lives of so many
people.”

Professor Catherine Law (UCL Institute of Child Health),
Professor of Public Health and Epidemiology and Honorary Consultant in Public
Health Medicine at Great Ormond Street Hospital, has received a CBE for her
services to Public Health.

Professor Law said: "As a public health doctor I am
very concerned about the health of our nation's children, particularly those
already living in disadvantage. As a scientist, I believe that research is
a powerful tool to promote population health and tackle the unfairness of
health inequalities, and I hope this award recognises the importance of this
science. I am privileged to work with wonderful colleagues at UCL Institute of
Child Health and elsewhere - any award to me is theirs as well".
